The fatal rapidity with which slight
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is a consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as household remedy, bottle Of
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works so sure q cure in all affections
of this class. That eminent physician,
Prof. f. SweetZer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant so good rs AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL. II is invaluable for diseases Of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion is expressed by the
wel-hnown DIR. L. j. Addison, Of Chicago,
ILL.,, who says
al have never found, in thirty -iive years of
continuous study and practice OF medicine, any
preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY
PECToRAL, for treatment Of diseases Of the
throat and lungs. II not only breaks up colds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary affections"

Editor Wilson Of the AbberiVe Press and
Banner gets up one of the newsicSt papers III
tbs State; but he would have to use larger
type if he printed it i'm Ncwberry, or We old
folks would boycott him.-New6e,1y Herald
and Ne,OS.
We thank our friend for the compliment to
the Press and Banner. We shall not raise the
question as to,whether we deserve the kind
words, but we trust that the Herald and NcmS
may not object to a dissent on the expression
about the large type. We believe the idea
that the people object to small type is errone-
Gus. We also believe that small print is more
easily read than large print. The city news
papers have circulationS thousand times
greater than the country newspapers, and yet
the city newspapers almost invariably ~"
smaller type than the country newspapers
Although the Herald and Nc'rS stands descrv
rdly high with the people and the brethren 0i
the press, yet we believe the Ue,Wld nnd Ncus
would he improved Ivy using type of the same
size a. that on which the Press md BnImcr l.
printed. Many good article which conld
otherwise be printed m"y hc crowded on q:

A Needed Law.

The excessive costs Of winding up small
estates has been the subject Of much COM
ment. and the high costs in civil suits has
been u just cause of complaint. At the last
sitting of the Legislature the Senate passed Il
Bill, which was introduced by Mr.. Murray, to
regulate Taxed Costs in Civil suits, which
was not reached by the House, and will pro-
bably be passed at the next session. The
1ll reduces all costs of one-half in cases
named and allows costs TO reference only to
the winning side. and only for the necessary
number of days. The Bill Is as follows:
SECTION l. That from and after the passage
OF this Act, taxed costs allowed Plaintiffs
and Defendants Attorneys, Masters, Referees.
Clerks of Court and SheritfS, in all actions for
partition or marshaling assets, where the
estate does not exceed one thousand dollars,
and in all actions for foreclosure where the
sum claimed does not exceed three hundred
dollars, shall only be One.half of the costs
allowed in like cases where the sum exceeds
one thousand dollars.
SEC. =. That in I'LL equity causes, fees for at
tending references shall be allowed only u
the attorney who succeeds in the issue tried
in such reference shall he taxed for amy attor-
ney which the Master or Referee sl:al certify
80 have been necessary and unavoidable III
the cause. No reference shall he allowed iol
establishing an uncontcstcd claim.

We are greatly surprised To src in some Of
our exchanges. Il Sugg;'Sliun that"maii trains
should be run on the sabbath on the Column
bia and Greenville railroad. Never since !hr
road was built has IL run any trains on thai
day. except perhaps. for the transportation Of
troops during the war. Tic Christian pr"-
pie of the State. and especially along the lin"
Of the road, have been grntificd ut this proper
recognition of the Lords Day-an example 50
conspicuous by its singnlarity. Sow. what is
the prGtrXt presented for y clangc? Simply
this, others have their mails on the Sabbath
and why should not VIC: Trains run OH other
roads on that day, and why not on this road?
Will that reason satisfy the Christian con
science? Is it not plea which would Justify
every form Of evil? We have solemn rX-
horiat!on against going with the multitude
to do evil. We believe the running Of Sab
bath trains is evil. II Isl plain violation OF
n divine command. 1t Is no! Il work OF either
necessity or mercy. tis Il good ;hing, it Is n
